Specifically, when display unit 11 and image pickup units 21 are disposed in opposition side (referring to Fig. 1,2), system control Image pickup mode is set to standard picture and is picked up by device processed 32 based on the information (0 °) of the anglec of rotation from rotating angle detector 18 Delivery formula.On the other hand, when display unit 11 and image pickup units 21 are disposed in the same side (referring to Fig. 3), system control Image pickup mode is set to auto heterodyne mould by device processed 32 based on the information (180 degree) of the anglec of rotation from rotating angle detector 18 Formula.
Then, system controller 32 determines whether current image pickup mode is self-timer mode (step 102).Current Image pickup mode be not self-timer mode (being no in step 102), i.e., current image pickup mode is standard picture pickup During pattern, perform based on the process (step 103) of standard picture pickup mode.
In standard picture pickup mode, the view data that imageing sensor 25 is caught by analogue signal processor 35, A/D converter 36 and digital signal processor 37 are processed and are shown on display unit 11 as live view image.User Visual angle is adjusted while live view image is checked and shutter release button 13 is pressed.
When shutter release button 13 is pressed, system controller 32 to digital signal processor 37 sends instruction, to press soon The moment of door button 13 exports view data to image storage unit 14.Image storage unit 14 will be from digital signal processor The view data of 37 outputs is stored as still image.In standard picture pickup mode, still image is caught by this way.Should Note, in the description of this embodiment, phrase " seizure " still image means according to the object on shutter release button 13, display unit 2nd, the operation at least one of 3 and 4 (referring to Fig. 9) etc., from passed through that image pickup units 21 obtain reality is also served as When viewfinder image image data item in determine arbitrary image data.
Note, in this embodiment, when present image pickup mode is standard picture pickup mode, by subsequent description Image pickup guides 1 (referring to Fig. 9) to be shown on screen unlike when present mode is self-timer mode.It should be noted that equally existing Standard picture pickup mode, the image pickup guiding 1 of subsequent description can be shown on screen or image pickup can be according to figure As the user operation of pickup guiding 1 is performed.
(it is in step 102) when in a step 102 present mode is self-timer mode, the execution step of system controller 32 104 and the process of following steps.
Fig. 7 is illustrated when digital camera 100 is arranged in self-timer mode by user and shoots the state obtained when taking pictures. The example of Fig. 7 is illustrated when user's left hand holds digital camera 100 and in front of user obliquely from top shoots herself The state obtained during image.
Although it should be noted that being only in this embodiment the situation of user by description subject, also will can for example use Family and friends are set to subject.
Referring back to Fig. 5, system controller 32 determines whether touch sensor 12 is had been detected by with regard to display unit 11 Screen touch operation (predetermined user operation) (step 104).
It should be noted that just as in standard picture pickup mode, in the image that self-timer mode, imageing sensor 25 are caught Data process and are used as live view figure by analogue signal processor 35, A/D converter 36 and digital signal processor 37 Upper part as being shown in display unit 11.Therefore, equally in self-timer mode, user can check the same of live view image When adjust visual angle.
(being no in step 104), the return to step of system controller 32 when the touch operation being not detected by screen 101.Then, the information of the anglec of rotation that system controller 32 is detected based on rotating angle detector 18 arranges image pickup mode For standard picture pickup mode or self-timer mode.
On the other hand, when the touch operation having been detected by screen (being yes in step 104), system controller 32 is controlled Imaged pickup unit 21 (position of amasthenic lens) focuses on the position of subject in live view image, the position with The position corresponding (step 105) of touch operation is arrived after testing.
That is, in step 105, system controller 32 performs AF process (AF：Automatically focus on).Although contrast AF System is generally used for AF process, but also can be using mutually detection AF systems.It should be noted that when using mutually AF systems are detected, to number Add mirror and focus detection sensor in word camera 100.
With reference to Fig. 7 and 8, the accompanying drawing is each illustrated when user is shown with the thumb contact of the left hand for holding digital camera 100 Show the position of face and focus is arranged on the state obtained during the position of face.By this way, in this embodiment, use Family can focus on the position of any object by performing touch operation on the optional position of screen.
Referring back to Fig. 5, when AF process is performed, the position of executed touch operation is set to ginseng by system controller 32 Examination point (step 106).Then, based on reference point, instruction is sent to show on screen for clapping to digital signal processor 37 Take the photograph from the image pickup taken pictures and guide 1 (step 107).Thus, image pickup guiding 1 is superimposed aobvious on the screen of display unit 11 It is shown on live view image.
Although it should be noted that in example herein AF process after perform image pickup guiding 1 display processing, The display processing of image pickup guiding 1 can process executed in parallel with AF.
Fig. 9 is the view of the example of the image pickup guiding 1 for illustrating Overlapping display on live view image.Such as Fig. 9 institutes Show, image pickup guiding 1 include shutter object 2 (the first object), five timer objects 3 (the second object, the 3rd object) with And it is continuously shot object 4 (the 4th object).Herein, object is displayed at the user interface on screen.Object include such as figure, Line, icon and character.Additionally, object is not limited to visual object.For example, object can be arranged to the presumptive area of screen, at this Do not perform in region and be particularly shown.
In the example depicted in fig. 9, object 2,3 and 4 is disposed in the circumference centered on reference point.It should be noted that will It is assumed that the direction of twelve-hour is 0 ° and angle increases in the clockwise direction the arrangement for carrying out description object in circumference.
Shutter object 2 is the object for performing image pickup using high-speed shutter function.In the example depicted in fig. 9, Shutter object 2 is located at 0 ° of position (position of twelve-hour) in the circumference of image pickup guiding 1.Additionally, using camera Figure of the figure as shutter object 2.It should be noted that any figure can be adopted as the figure of shutter object 2, as long as user is Ke Yi In being regarded as high-speed shutter function.
Five timer objects 3 are for using the object of autotimer function execution image pickup.Shown in Fig. 9 In example, five timer objects 3 are in the circumference of image pickup guiding 1 from (36 ° at equal intervals of upper right side position to downside Interval) arrangement.Five timer objects 3 are given by different counting period allocateds.In the clockwise direction by the order will in terms of It is set to 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds and 5 seconds (very first time, the second time) one number time.
In the example depicted in fig. 9, using black circle as corresponding four timers of counting cycle phase with 1 second to 4 seconds The figure of object 3.6 o'clock position (is located at as the corresponding timer object 3 of counting cycle phase with 5 seconds using the figure of stopwatch The object put) figure.It should be noted that can adopt any figure as timer object 3 figure, as long as user can be easy to by It is considered as the figure of high-speed shutter function.For example, each timer object 3 can be the figure for representing number of seconds.
It should be noted that in the following description, because five timer objects must be distinguished especially each other, they will In the clockwise direction first, second, third, fourth and fifth timer object 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d are referred to as with the order And 3e.
It is for using being continuously shot function (in each predetermined duration continuously shot images to be continuously shot object 4 Function) perform image pickup object.In the example depicted in fig. 9, it is continuously shot circle of the object 4 in image pickup guiding 1 270 ° of position (position at nine o'clock) is located in week.Additionally, using wherein rectangle (making one the figure for associating photo) each other The figure of superposition is used as the figure for being continuously shot object 4.It should be noted that can be using any figure as the figure for being continuously shot object 4 Shape, as long as user can be easy to be regarded as the figure for being continuously shot function.
Additionally, by the graphical layout of arrow mark in image pickup guiding 1.The figure of arrow mark draws from image pickup The center for leading 1 extends on the four direction of upper and lower, left and right.Each in the figure of arrow mark is for guiding user to exist The figure of the square upward sliding finger for thereby indicating that.
With reference to Fig. 6, when display image pickup guiding 1 on screen, system controller 32 is based on from touch sensor 12 output determines whether touch operation discharges (step 108).
When touch operation discharges (being yes in step 108), system controller 32 to digital signal processor 37 sends Instruction is with the erasing (step 109) from screen by image pickup guiding 1.Thus, when user removes finger from screen, figure As pickup guiding 1 is wiped from screen.
That is, user touch operation can be performed by optional position on screen and on the position display image Pickup guiding 1.By discharging touch operation, user can wipe image pickup guiding 1 from screen.In other words, Yong Huke The display image pickup guiding 1 on screen in the way of as needed.
When image pickup guiding 1 is wiped from screen, the return to step 104 of system controller 32.Then, system controller 32 again determine whether to have been detected by touch operation.
When touch operation does not discharge (being no in step 108), system controller 32 is based on from touch sensor 12 Output determines whether to detect flicking operation (step 110) on screen.Herein, flicking operation means to be slided on screen Finger and finger is gradually removed from screen and does not reduce the user operation of the speed of slip finger.
When flicking operation is not detected by (being no in step 110), the return to step 108 of system controller 32.Then, system Controller 32 determines whether touch operation discharges again.
When flicking operation is had been detected by (being yes in step 110), the erasing image pickup of system controller 32 guiding 1 (step 111).Afterwards, system controller 32 determines whether flicking operation is on shutter object 2 based on the direction of flicking operation Flicking operation (step 112).
In step 112, when the direction of flicking operation is 0 ° of direction (twelve-hour direction), system controller 32 is true The fixed flicking operation whether having been detected by shutter object 2.It should be noted that the direction of flicking operation need not be accurately 0 ° The direction of direction and flicking operation has certain border.In this embodiment, when the direction of flicking operation is relative to 0 ° When in the range of ± 18 ° of direction, it is defined as having been detected by the flicking operation on shutter object 2.
When flicking operation is the flicking operation on shutter object 2 (being yes in step 112), system controller 32 uses high No-delay gate function performs image pickup (step 113).In the image pickup using high-speed shutter function, system controller 32 exists The moment for detecting flicking operation sends instruction to digital signal processor 37, by view data from digital signal processor 37 Export to image storage unit 14.Image storage unit 14 is using the view data exported from digital signal processor 37 as static state View data is stored.
According to this process, user can be by performing touch operation and not by finger from screen with finger on screen Perform flicking operation to use high-speed shutter function to perform image pickup on predetermined direction (0 ° ± 18 °) in the case of removing.
Herein, due to holding the shake of the hand of digital camera 100 in flicking operation, live view figure is being checked by user The visual angle adjusted while picture may deviate.In order to eliminate the impact of this hand shaking, in the image using high-speed shutter function In pickup, the scheduled time that system controller 32 can be after the time point for detecting flicking operation (is shorter than autotimer work( The time (for example, about 0.5 second) in the most short counting cycle (1 second) in energy) image pickup was performed after the past, rather than in detection It is immediately performed to after flicking operation.
When image pickup is performed using high-speed shutter function, the return to step 104 of system controller 32.Then, system control Device processed 32 again determines whether to have been detected by touch operation.
When flicking operation is not the flicking operation on shutter object 2 (being no in step 112), system controller 32 determines Flicking operation be whether any one in timer object 3 on flicking operation (step 114).
In step 114, when flicking operation direction be 36 ° ± 16 °, 72 ° ± 16 °, 108 ° ± 16 °, 144 ° ± 16 ° or When 180 ° ± 16 °, system controller 32 is determined with the sequence detection to first, second, third, fourth or the 5th timing Flicking operation on device object 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d or 3e.
When having been detected by first, second, third, fourth or the 5th light on timer object 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d or 3e When stroking operation (being yes in step 114), 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds after this flicking operation is detected of system controller 32 Or perform image pickup after 5 seconds.That is, system controller 32 performs image pickup (step using autotimer function 115)。
In the image pickup using autotimer function, system controller 32 arranges meter in timer (not shown) Numerical value, the count value is corresponding with the timer object 3 of the target when flicking operation is detected as the flicking operation Number of seconds.Then, system controller 32 begins through timer and carries out countdown (or reverse countdown).
In the counting cycle of timer, countdown guides 5 Overlapping displays on preview image.Countdown guiding 5 is indicated The current counting for performing.Figure 10 is the view of an example for illustrating countdown guiding 5.Figure 10 is illustrated to work as and is detected the 5th timing Flicking operation and execution on device object 3e continues of the countdown guiding 5 being shown in during the countdown of 5 seconds on screen Example.
Just as in image pickup guiding 1, countdown guiding 5 is based on having been detected by the position of touch operation Position on.Countdown guiding 5 is included therein the digital object 6 of heart position.Digital object 6 is indicated performed and remain before image pickup Remaining number of seconds.
Additionally, countdown guiding 5 is included in the countdown object 7 in the circumference of the circle centered on reference point.Countdown Object 7 is disposed in and is guided at the position corresponding that shutter object 2 and timer object 3 are arranged in 1 with image pickup. In the example depicted in fig. 10, although countdown object 7 is set to into white circle figure, but any figure can be used to count When object 7.
Whenever countdown is carried out 1 second, the display of countdown object 7 just changes one by one in the counterclockwise direction.Figure 10 is illustrated Carrying out 1 second whenever countdown, white circle figure is changed into the example obtained during translucent white circle.It should be noted that can be appropriate Ground changes the method that change shows.For example, can use and wherein count corresponding with remaining number of seconds before image pickup is performed When object 7 highlight and whenever countdown carries out highlighting for 1 second the method that can terminate one by one.
By visual identity digital object 6 and countdown object 7, user can be easily realized by before image pickup is performed also Remaining how many seconds.It should be noted that in the example depicted in fig. 10, in order to display to the user that the countdown that timer is currently performed, The figure of the upper left side position display stopwatch of screen.
When timer countdown is to zero, system controller 32 sends instruction simultaneously at the moment to digital signal processor 37 Digital signal processor 37 is made to the output image data of image storage unit 14.Image storage unit 14 will be from Digital Signal Processing The view data of the output of device 37 is stored as static image data.
According to this process, user can be by with finger Touch screen and in the case where not removing finger from screen Perform flicking operation on predetermined direction (36 ° ± 16 °, 72 ° ± 16 °, 108 ° ± 16 °, 144 ° ± 16 °, 180 ° ± 16 °) to make Image pickup is performed with autotimer function.In addition, now user can arbitrarily select timer based on the direction of flicking operation The counting cycle.
When image pickup is performed using autotimer function, the return to step 104 of system controller 32 simultaneously determines again Whether touch operation is had been detected by.
When flicking operation is not the flicking operation on timer object 3 (being no in step 114), system controller 32 is true Determine whether flicking operation is the flicking operation (step 116) being continuously shot on object 4.
In step 116, when the direction of flicking operation is in the range of 270 ° ± 16 °, system controller 32 determines After testing to the flicking operation being continuously shot on object 4.
When flicking operation is the flicking operation being continuously shot on object 4 (being yes in step 116), system controller 32 makes Image pickup (step 117) is performed with function is continuously shot.
Using being continuously shot in the image pickup of function, system controller 32 is first when flicking operation is detected Send to digital signal processor 37 and instruct and make digital signal processor 37 to the output image data of image storage unit 14.Figure As memory cell 14 is stored the view data exported from digital signal processor 37 as static image data.Thus, obtain First static image data.
It should be noted that in the image pickup of first still image, in order to eliminate the impact of hand shaking, can flick detecting Short time (for example, about 0.5 second) after the time point of operation performed image pickup after the past, rather than flicked detecting It is immediately performed during operation.Alternatively, can as the image pickup using autotimer function, about 1 second to 5 seconds when Between in the past after perform image pickup.
When the first still image is picked up, (for example, about system controller 32 arranges predetermined count value in timer 3 to 5 seconds) and perform the countdown (or reverse countdown) of timer.Then, system controller 32 terminates in the countdown of timer Moment send instruction to digital signal processor 37, and make digital signal processor 37 to the output figure of image storage unit 14 As data.Image storage unit 14 is stored the view data exported from digital signal processor 37 as static image data. Thus, the second static image data is obtained.
For the still image of the 3rd or higher order, as in the second still image image pickup is performed.According to this Process, in predetermined time period (first time period：The duration of 3 to 5 seconds) in continuously perform image pickup.Then, when complete Into the still image of predetermined number (for example, about 5 to 10) image pickup when, system controller 32 terminates using continuous bat The image pickup of camera shooting function simultaneously again returns to step 104.
According to this process, user can be by performing touch operation and not by finger from screen with finger on screen In the case of removing on predetermined direction (270 ° ± 16 °) perform flicking operation come use be continuously shot function perform image pick up Take.
It should be noted that in this embodiment, using being continuously shot in the image pickup of function, will be from image pickup to next The cycle of individual image pickup is set to the relatively long cycle, i.e., about 3 to 5 seconds.Therefore, user can change within that cycle Facial expression and posture.
(automatically fixed when being set equal in the first image pickup into the cycle of next image pickup from image pickup When device function in counting the cycle the counting cycle when, its also include this cycle), can show on screen for for face The facial expression that at least one of expression and posture are guided to user/posture guiding.
The guiding of this facial expression/posture is that the image of the symbol for making/showing various facial expressions and various postures is (or existing There is the image of personage).The guiding of facial expression/posture for example screen marginal position Overlapping display on live view image.
Alternatively, facial expression/posture guiding is the profile of the characteristic of facial expression or posture.In such case Under, facial expression/posture guiding is displayed in the correspondence position of the subject illustrated on screen (for example, if feature is in face Face in portion's expression, then for the position of face in live view image).
The example of facial expression may include " duck face " (the face form of upper lip of magnifying to side and gently beeped, As duck), " sparrow face " (face gently being opened and the face form of lip of gently having beeped, as sparrow), " dejected Face " (seem awkward (doing after what failure) and stretch out the expression of tongue), " worry face " and " surprised face ".
Additionally, the example of posture may include " V word gestures ", " saluting ", " posture that handle is placed on cheek ", " silence appearance (slight closure finger makes it visible that palm and by palm for gesture " (posture forefinger being placed on nose) and " cat posture " Turn to the posture of image pickup units 21).It should be noted that facial expression and posture can be combined (for example, V words gesture and duck face).
Whenever image pickup is performed, facial expression/posture guiding is sequentially switched to different facial expression/postures.It is logical Cross and make/show facial expression and posture according to guiding, user can obtain the image of various expressions and posture, and without troublesomely Determine next user makes/show what expression and posture.
It should be noted that being not limited to using the image pickup for being continuously shot function, facial expression/posture guiding is above-mentioned using certainly Also can be displayed on screen in the image pickup of dynamic timer function.In addition, using being continuously shot in the image pickup of function, Countdown guides 5 (referring to Figure 10) to be shown on screen (not or with facial expression/posture guiding).
In description herein, using being continuously shot in the image pickup of function, it has been described that arrange timing in advance The situation in the counting cycle of device.On the other hand, using the counting cycle being continuously shot in the image pickup of function can as with from Determine like that in the way of the direction depending on flicking operation in the dynamic timer function associated counting cycle.Namely Say, be continuously shot function and autotimer function (each time) can be combined.
In this case, by it is multiple be continuously shot/timer object (the 4th object, the 5th object) at equal intervals During (for example, 36 ° of intervals) is arranged in the circumference (for example, left one side of something) of image pickup guiding 1.By the different counting cycles (first Time period, second time period) distribute to and be continuously shot/timer object.
Then, when detect it is multiple be continuously shot/timer object 3 in one be continuously shot/timer object on During flicking operation, the counting cycle is set to be continuously shot with this by system controller 32/timer object corresponding counting week Phase, next image pickup is performed after the time.
For example, if it have detected that with corresponding to the corresponding flicking operation of 5 seconds be continuously shot/timer object, So system controller 32 can perform image pickup (with regard to the first image pickup, figure with the interval of 5 seconds using function is continuously shot Picture pickup can be performed immediately or image pickup can be performed the counting cycle of 5 seconds after in the past).Thus, user can be depended on Mode in the direction of flicking operation is arbitrarily set using the interval of the image pickup for being continuously shot function.
Additionally, in description herein, it has been described that determine in advance using the still image for being continuously shot function acquisition Quantity situation.On the other hand, the direction that can be based on flicking operation determines the quantity of still image.
In this case, in the circumference (for example, left one side of something) of image pickup guiding 1, at equal intervals (for example, 36 ° of intervals) arrange that being allocated different the multiple of amount of images is continuously shot-amount of images object.Then, when having been detected by It is multiple be continuously shot-amount of images object in one be continuously shot-amount of images object on flicking operation when, system control Device 32 performs image pickup using function is continuously shot, until obtain quantity and be continuously shot-amount of images object is corresponding Still image.Thus, the mode in the direction that user can depend on flicking operation is arbitrarily arranged on to use and is continuously shot function The quantity of the rest image obtained in image pickup.
<Action etc.>
As described above, in this embodiment, user can be by performing on the shutter object 2 in the object that shows on screen Flicking operation performs image pickup (shoot from take pictures) using high-speed shutter function.Additionally, user can be by timer pair Use autotimer function to perform image pickup (shooting oneself to take pictures) as performing flicking operation in any one in 3.
Thus, shooting when taking pictures, user can immediately and intuitively select to be to use high-speed shutter function to perform image Pickup still performs image pickup using autotimer function.Additionally, in this embodiment, in multiple timer objects 3 The distribution different counting cycle.Therefore, user can also depend on the mode arbitrarily selection in the direction of flicking operation and determine automatically When the device function associated counting cycle.
In addition, in this embodiment, in each image pickup, user can freely select to be to use high-speed shutter function Perform image pickup and still perform image pickup using autotimer function.In addition, whenever image pickup is performed, user is also The counting cycle being associated with autotimer function can arbitrarily be selected.
User can shoot while digital camera 100 according to this embodiment are enjoyed and take pictures certainly, and strengthen user's Experience.Specifically, with respect to the digital camera 100 of this embodiment, shoot simple to operate and also suitable when taking pictures Shoot when on foot and take pictures certainly.
<Second embodiment>
It is described below the second embodiment of the technology of the present invention.It should be noted that implementing in second embodiment and Geng Gao orders Example description in, with those similar functions of first embodiment mentioned above and construct corresponding units will be by phase Same symbol is referred to and its description will be omitted and simplified.
Herein, as described above, image pickup guiding 1 is shown on screen with the test position of touch operation as reference point. Therefore, when touch operation is performed in the marginal position of screen, it may be difficult to rounded indication chart picture pickup guiding 1.
In consideration of it, in a second embodiment, it is assumed that perform institute according to the test position (position of reference point) of touch operation Process is stated, for example, changes the display pattern of image pickup guiding 1.
Figure 11,12 and 13 each to illustrate and change the aobvious of image pickup guiding 1 according to the position for having been detected by touch operation Show the example of pattern.
Figure 11 illustrates the shape on the screen obtained when user performs touch operation on the part of close screen left hand edge State.As shown in figure 11, when touch operation is performed on the part of close left hand edge, reference point is set to what is touched Position and image pickup guiding 1 is shown at the position corresponding with reference point.Image pickup guiding 1 is in right half of circumference (circumference of circular arc) includes 2, five timer objects 3 of shutter object and is continuously shot object 4.In the example shown in Figure 11 In, shutter object 2 is located at 0 ° of position (position of twelve-hour) and five timer objects 3 are from upper right portion to lower left quarter Divide and arrange at equal intervals.In addition, shutter object 2 is located at 180 ° of position (position at six o'clock).It should be noted that shown in Figure 11 Example in, with regard to the circular arc of wherein subject arranged, its center and reference point (performing the position of touch operation at which) It is corresponding.On the other hand, the center of circular arc is not necessarily correspond to reference point and the center of circular arc can be positioned at for example not Be screen region in.This is equally applicable to Figure 12 described below and 13.
Figure 12 illustrates the state on the screen obtained when user performs touch operation near screen top edge.Such as Figure 12 It is shown, when touch operation is performed near edge on top, 2, five timer objects 3 of shutter object and be continuously shot it is right As 4 be disposed in it is lower one side of something circumference (circumference of circular arc) in.In the example depicted in fig. 12, shutter object 2 is located at 90 ° of position Put (position of three) and five timer objects 3 are arranged at equal intervals from lower right-most portion to bottom left section.In addition, fast Door object 2 is located at 270 ° of position (position at nine o'clock).
Figure 13 illustrates the state as user when close screen lower-left end performs touch operation on screen.As shown in figure 13, When touch operation is performed at close lower-left end, 2, five timer objects 3 of shutter object and the quilt of object 4 is continuously shot In being arranged in the quarter turn of upper right portion (circumference of circular arc).In the example depicted in fig. 13, shutter object 2 is located at 0 ° of position Put (position of twelve-hour) and five timer objects 3 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumference of upper right quarter.In addition, shutter Object 2 is located at 90 ° of position (position of three).
Herein, when Fig. 9 is compared with Figure 11 to 13,2, five timer objects 3 of shutter object and it is continuously shot The relative position of object 4 changes, and these relative positions between them can keep as much as possible.In addition, five timers Interval between object 3 keeps as much as possible.Therefore, the operation feeling that user can be stable performs operation on each object, And do not consider the position of touch operation.
It should be noted that in the example shown in Figure 11 to 13, relative to the position of reference point, the position of each object 2,3 or 4 Change.Therefore, the direction of the flicking operation in about whether the determination for having performed the operation on each object 2,3 or 4 is worked as So also change.
As another example for the display pattern for changing image pickup guiding 1, exemplified with depending on touch operation The method that the mode of position changes the whole size of image pickup guiding 1.In this case, when the position of touch operation becomes During closer to edge, image pickup guiding 1 whole size become it is less (herein, for reference point, subject arranged Direction is constant).
<Various improvement examples>
[distributing to the function of image pickup guiding 1]
In embodiment mentioned above, describe to distribute high-speed shutter function, self-timing in image pickup guiding 1 Device function and the situation for being continuously shot function.On the other hand, it is continuously shot function to be not necessarily intended to distribute and can omit.In addition, generation For function (or in addition to being continuously shot function) is continuously shot, other functions can be distributed in image pickup guiding 1.
Function is picked up using flash images to be said as the example of other functions that can distribute in image pickup guiding 1 It is bright.In this case, flash lamp object (the 6th object) is located at (for example, 270 ° of position in the circumference of image pickup guiding 1 Put).
Then, when the flicking operation on flash lamp object is had been detected by, system controller 32 makes image pickup units 21 perform image pickup, while making flash lamp 22 light (high-speed shutter).
In addition, flash images pickup function also can be combined (each time) with autotimer function.In this case, For example, multiple flash of light/timer objects are arranged at equal intervals in the circumference (for example, left one side of something) of image pickup guiding 1. In multiple flash of light/timer objects, the different counting cycles are set.Then, when flicking operation is detected, arrange light with conduct Stroke the counting cycle of the corresponding number of seconds of flash of light/timer object of the target of operation and flash of light is performed at the end of countdown Lamp image pickup.
Additionally, flash images pick up function and are continuously shot function also can be combined.In this case, for example, glisten/ It is continuously shot object to guide in 1 circumference (for example, 270 ° of positions) positioned at image pickup.Then, when detecting flash of light/continuous During flicking operation on reference object, in predetermined time period (for example, the duration of 3 to 5 seconds) flash lamp is continuously performed Image pickup.
Flash images pickup function, it is continuously shot function and autotimer function and also can be combined (each time).At this In the case of kind, for example, multiple flashes of light/be continuously shot/timer object is arranged at equal intervals the circumference of image pickup guiding 1 In (for example, left one side of something).The different counting cycles are set in multiple flashes of light/be continuously shot/timer object.Then, inspection is worked as When measuring flicking operation, in each corresponding meter of the flash of light with the target as flicking operation/be continuously shot/timer object Flash images pickup is performed in one number time.
